Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer said he doesn't know why Omarosa Manigault Newman, the outgoing director of communications for the White House Office of Public Liaison, had been offered a job at the White House.

“[Did] she have any qualifications to work in the White House?” Ingraham asked.

“Look, she was very loyal to the president,” Spicer said.

“I think the president brought a lot of people who wanted to fulfill his agenda,” he added. “And that’s his prerogative … I wish her the best. But I don't — I'm not really sure."

Manigault Newman said she resigned earlier this week, but that conflicts with other media reports that claim White House chief of staff John Kelly had fired her and that she had to be physically removed from the White House.

Manigault Newman said in an interview Thursday with ABC’s “Nightline” there "were a lot of things that I observed during the last year that I was very unhappy with."

The White House announced Wednesday that Manigualt Newman would be resigning and that she would officially leave her position on Jan. 20.

“Omarosa Manigault Newman resigned yesterday to pursue other opportunities," read a statement provided to the Washington Examiner. "Her departure will not be effective until January 20, 2018. We wish her the best in future endeavors and are grateful for her service.”

Manigualt Newman is a longtime ally of Trump's who appeared on the first season of his show "The Apprentice."

Jared Kushner’s father confirmed he met with Qatar’s finance minister in the early months of President Trump’s time in office, but says he turned down any possible funding for a financially troubled real estate project to avoid potential conflicts of interest.

Multiple presidential aides expect President Trump will continue to more aggressively attack Robert Mueller following his first ever tweet to mention the Justice Department special counsel by name on Sunday.

President Clinton probably wouldn't have used Twitter if it existed to defend himself during the Monica Lewinsky scandal the way Trump does against his accusers, according to his former press secretary Joe Lockhart.

Hillary Clinton doubled down on her controversial comments that white Republican women only voted for President Trump because the men in their lives pressured them to, while trying to explain why she made the remarks.

Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said Monday that fighting the opioid addiction crisis means ongoing efforts to collect drugs that are stored in people's homes, which he said will help ensure these addictive drugs aren't taken by children.

TURKEY CLAIMS VICTORY: Over the weekend, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said his forces captured the northern Syrian city of Afrin, as the expected tough, urban fighting failed to materialize and Kurdish fighters seemed to melt away. U.S. officials have repeatedly warned that Turkey’s actions are pulling much-needed resources from the U.S.-backed fight against the Islamic State.

Trump-Russia special counsel Robert Mueller is authorized to investigate "any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump." The popular word for that is collusion, and it remains at the heart of both the Mueller and the Senate Intelligence Committee investigations. (Majority Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee recently announced they were unable to find evidence proving collusion.)

President Trump’s attorney tried to reassure the public that President trump is not considering firing special counsel Robert Mueller after a day of speculation brought on by a different member of Trump’s legal team.

A spokeswoman for Rep. Mike Conaway said he misspoke Sunday morning when he said the House Intelligence Committee was not tasked with investigating possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
